[@xiongrey19]

Book version. by far. Don't get me wrong, I do like this movie. But so many things and weirdness's in the the movie that just don't land right is because they changed the core conceit of a virus that creates vampires and the main character becoming to this new society like the vampires of old were: A terror, a boogeyman, a legend to frighten you. They changed that to these zombie things with only the hint of intelligence at the end and by then so many of the other things don't land right because in the book it's all in service to the growing sense in the reader that maybe the main character is going to far or that maybe he might be an unreliable narrator. They changed the core conceit so some of the story beats hit differently or awkwardly since they weren't intended to be in service to the type of ending the Movie was going for.

[@heatherdianeclark]

I prefer the original ending where he sacrificed himself.

[@santiagohardy2728]

The theatrical edit is the one i saw first, so this alternate edit was interesting to see. Rest, roam, and play in Paradise Sam. 💔Sigh.... Off topic: $60.00! i had completely forgotten how expensive PPV movies were!! Blake's grandma is a real one.

[@SandraMorris51]

I prefer the theatrical ending…

[@PuppetMaster-Blade]

Definitely the book version. Hes the villian, not the hero. The original movie ending makes him the hero when that isnt who he is.. hes kidnapping and killing innocent civilians

[@jenniferhamels1176]

He didn't fall for his own trap. The "Vampire leader" observed his girl getting taken by a trap, so he somehow learned to make a similar trap by using the mannequin as bait to lure Robert into his trap.

[@jamesliggins891]

they said that while they were talking

[@rubenelias2198]

The dog actor is played by Abbey the German Shepherd and she is 16 years old this year.

[@pedravandermerwe]

Blake's grandma seems like the sweetest. We stan Blake's grandma!

[@3twelve206]

17:10 omg your face when you realized he strangled his dog choked me up. Then your pup sensed you were sad and came over by you. Holy shit that was wholesome ❤

[@Dannieboy215]

So this is actually the alternate ending the original ending is where he sacrifices himself and takes them all out. The book ending was more related to this ending which implies that after all the years of him hunting them, near the end of the story, he realizes that the dark seekers are the dominant species of the planet and they have a sense of intelligence and understand not only feelings but fear as well. The idea of the ending is that he realizes that he views them as monsters but in reality he is the monster of their world he is their boogy man and thats why they attack him because they have enough intelligence to realize he is hunting and killing them so rather then them being mindless killing machines they are simply trying to survive like he is

[@Christian_Adonis1]

In the original ending,they are still in the basement lab, but the lady and boy hide in a metal tube in the wall and the Doctor let’s the night seekers in and blows them all up with a grenade. The lady and kid then make it to the sanctuary with a sample of the blood that’s the cure.

[@berndgeels]

Blake is really handsome.

[@janemary8339]

And Cojo too.

[@Supernovice942]

I think this every time I see him in a vid ❤ love the boys but Blake hits different

[@eimz28]

He is, in fairness they're all nice lads.... I sound a bit Father Teddish there 😅 lovely girls

[@juliocesarg.r.1238]

you are not bad yourself, mister...

[@ayeitzdj]

He scary tho

[@SirNorm33]

Context on the bacon. I haven't seen this for a long time, but I seem to remember he was saving the bacon for Sam when she managed to eat all her corn or vegetables or something. That's why he was upset about it

[@heatherdianeclark]

I’d like to say nothing wrong with you guys being upset about Sam dying. Just means you love your dogs and have a heart. I’m a cat owner but would love to have a dog someday. That scene with Sam makes me cry every time.

[@klove5765]

Alternate Endings shouldn't be watched first, there's a reason why its not the oringinal option, thats just me

[@johndavidhenderson3640]

He didn't just Sac's himself. He sacrificed himself so Anna & Ethan could escape with the cure. You should watch the original ending.

[@mattyisme123]

Surprised they didn’t notice…..His daughter in the movie is his real life daughter Willow…..

[@chauser400]

Actually to your point of the cure “working” on animals, the rat that was given compound six had died.

[@Will_3000]

Samantha giving her life to save Will Smith was beyond sad... but Igli going to get his pup and one of Blake's doggos coming over to him... that brought mega tears 😢

[@screamr2d2]

Great movie. Even though the dog stuff ripped my insides out first time (every time) I watched it. Blake's poor grandma. That story is as on brand for Blake as Igli's whole bedroom is for him. Love it.

[@jeffgoldb0ob]

yall getting your dogs for emotional support is so real lol

[@Fruitseee]

i don’t know if you guys notice but Will always includes his kids in movies where he can, willow is his daughter in this movie along with Jaden in PoH

[@Mangolite]

The novel “I Am Legend” by Richard Matheson has been adapted three times. “The Last Man on Earth” starring Vincent Prince in 1964, “The Omega Man” starring Charlton Heston in 1971, and finally, “I Am Legend” with Will Smith as Robert Neville. Each adaptation differed from the book, but all consisted of Neville as a brilliant scientist, and the infected are vampires, not zombies. In Price’s version, the infected had all the vampiric symptoms, such as fear of daylight, can’t stand mirrors, repelled by garlic, and were killed with stakes to the heart. In Heston’s version, the infected function as a cult. Smith’s version makes it harder to discern what the infected have become, as I thought they were zombies until his research leads to a different kind of monster. I would have liked a version where Neville is alone with his dog and finds a cure with his blood, only to be killed by the other survivors mistaking him for an infected because of his delusional state after being alone for so long, and the dog was taken in by his killers.

[@Lannisen]

The novel is also about the classic kind of vampire, so the first adaptation is the most alike the source material.

[@williamjones6031]

1. This is my favorite Will Smith movie. 2.The part that gave me real respect for Will Smith is the scene where he's talking to the mannequin right after having to kill his best/only friend and says, "Please say hello to me". THAT'S acting. Where did he go to get that?. 3. This film is mostly a remake of "The Last Man On Earth" and "The Omega Man" staring Charlton Heston. 4. The wild animals escaped from the Manhattan Zoo. 5. He was saving the bacon for Samantha. 6. There's speculation that he's the bad guy because he's the hunter now. 7. I absolutely fell in love/LUST with Alice Braga after I saw this movie. 8. The female was the leader's squeeze. 9. The original ending where he sacrifices himself. That one's better. He dies in "OM" too.

[@brookehoward7276]

I didn’t even realize there was another ending! I thought the original was the only ending 😂 I was like wait what.. as I watched your ending

[@eimz28]

I get you about the dog. Love that blakes dog appeared next to him!

[@svellah4388]

I can't wait for more Haunting of Hill House episodes, wish it was more than once a week!

[@Fruitseee]

35:19 he was saving the bacon for sam, it was a habit

[@ToastKnight_]

Yes, Samantha died, BUT from the Vampire's pov This dude came and kidnapped his lady! The Vampire is John Wick...Liam Neeson in taken...whoever you want to say. Samantha is the unfortunate collateral damage in that guy's revenge story.

[@ReelPiscesPlays]

When he loses his dog, you become emotionally drained and can barely finish the movie. The alternate ending pisses me off more than original.

[@hers6694]

Tbh the alternate ending is better than the original ending and many people preferred it.

[@wonderwomanmillow2281]

Saw this ending for the first time hahahaha

[@aaronwebb5460]

The movie is titled ‘I am Legend’ because by the end and especially in the original ending Neville realises that he is the real monster now and has been hunting down and experimenting on them when they’re asleep.

[@ayeitzdj]

Neville is not the monster for wanting to bring back the human race

[@aaronwebb5460]

@@ayeitzdj the creatures were still relatively intelligent and had thoughts and feelings etc. Neville would come in the day and as you could see plastered all along the wall in his lab were pictures of all the hundreds of creatures he had taken, experimented on and killed. These would have been friends and family members to the others. Just look at how angry the leader is when he takes what is presumably his wife.

[@robertwalker7454]

In the original ending, he actually blows up the lab with all of them.

[@Liftedwheelchair]

The lab scene did happen, except the dark seekers break in and Nevel dives towards them with a grenade and blows himself up

[@Spectreffex]

Ooh good choice! Abbey the dog (who played Sam) did such a great job as a dog actress! We had some great post-apocalyptic movies in the 00s and early 2010s. Another movie I love is The Book of Eli (2010) starring Denzel Washington.

[@Tysheengames]

Wow. I never seen this ending before. I like this one better.

[@theheadsn]

Fun Fact: When this movie came out, in IMAX they were showing the first scene of "The Dark Knight" which was a HUGE deal. Both were awesome to see in IMAX

[@marklouis1890]

I am totally here for an Igli and Blake reaction

[@kirstengilroy302]

The book was a great short 1 and finished with Dr Neville saying “I am legend”!!!!!!!

[@lokiplays6868]

Apparently Will Smith wanted to buy the dog after filming but the owner/trainer refused. Edit: Also Will was the only actor for like 90% of the movie and it was amazing. That shows how good of an actor he is

[@Smellycarl]

When i first saw it he let them in and blew them up.

[@jefflayton153]

The bad ending lol

[@DonnieMajestic]

chh when the dog died I was ready to make a trip to warner bros....

[@heatherdianeclark]

Basement scene did happen in original they were still in the same area it just was different. He gives her the cure and lets them get away to the colony and he blows the creatures up and himself.

[@betteryourlife865]

Z-Nation and Warm Bodies both had zombies that were intelligent/had normal human emotions.

[@ChristopherZeta1999]

Blake if you don't put your freaking hand down!!!! This man Is bracing for a jumpscare in the 1st 15 mins😂

[@russpike9099]

LOL lost it at "bros looking for the copper"

[@Letssee92]

The other ending is so much better if you ask me

[@agtl3168]

I watched this movie so many times and this is my first realizing the girl that played his daughter is his actual daughter willow smith

[@WillyanWagner]

😂😂Such a baby, it's okay Blake

[@Supernovice942]

Awww Blake’s grandma story was so cute ❤ Also Sam dying destroyed me as a kid and it destroyed me now 😢 (Spoilers for the book below) In the book the creatures are more like your traditional vampires, some are pathologically violent but there are some who have intelligence like Ruth in the book. So I suppose maybe that’s what they were going for with the alternate ending? Giving them some signs they can be reasoned with?

[@screamr2d2]

51:48 Ok but what about Warm Bodies(2013)?

[@Wash869]

Despite the differences of the book, I still really like this film.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

13:47 Lucky for them

[@marklouis1890]

Whoa, i did not realize this movie predicted Batman v Superman all the way back in 2007 dude

[@KrisFlicks]

not everyone being upset at your reaction of the dog dying lmao not like ALL OF US weren’t upset, but with Sam’s dying, he didn’t know that he’d need to make her temperature cooler for her to actually survive, like the woman in the basement, plus the rat is a smaller being so you would need to mathematically figure out which exact dose would work for which, main reason he gave the lady more of the serum before handing her to her man lol

[@0311uli]

Second part will be with Will and Michael B Jodan following this ending, not the original ending were he dies.

[@spartan_warrior5927]

A dog killed his dog when it bit Sam. He was dead already then. People are a trip when it comes to this dog getting offed thing. 5-6 billion people also died too…

[@Sageddegas]

I’m really sorry for whatever has happened in your life to make you this way 🫶🏻

[@PeverellTheThird]

@@Sageddegas "I'm really sorry that you care for loss of human life."

[@okamiartifex8813]

No empathy

[@shania991]

Sam I a girl it’s short for Samantha by the way

[@eddietucker7005]

This ending is anticlimactic. The other ending puts a period at the end of the sentence. This sucked. Great reaction! The film Will Smith SHOULD have won the Oscar for is “Collateral Beauty”. I hope you watch it. It’s an all-star cast with Helen Murren, Kiera Knightley, Kate Winslet, Edward Norton plus more. Check it out!

[@NapolianDynamite-lr4hg]

An incredible film, you guys are the best, Blake its so adorable you still cant watch horror films as an adult, don’t worry i think you’ll survive this one. Tell Corey to stop cutting his hair its to beautiful, let it grow let it flow.

[@fastfuriousfamilyforeverthefas]

Hey Guys sup. This is a good Movie. Oh and yeah I'm Letting you know they are Making I AM LEGEND 2. Movie. 1:24

[@t0xtle]

Blake is my favorite. Watching him watch hill house brings me back to the channel. 🖤

[@Zinian]

Please pardon this small rant: Very hilarious watching you guys react to this, with the dog and all. It's a pale, lifeless imitation of the book. The ending and "the reveal" that the vampires are evolving or becoming more human is handled with so much more care, grace and style than this movie. Even though it's a "decent, if forgettable" flick. Please read the book, if any of you guys enjoy that medium.

[@roninprofessor]

Vincent Price’s “Last Man on Earth” is probably closer to the book. “The Omega Man” is also a pale version of the book.

[@magdalenagabrowska8169]

So about cold factor he thought about it bc women told him that the survival group lives in colder state and when kud was swimming and talking how cold it is....

[@masonfletcher2314]

I prefer the alternate ending it is much better. Will gets the women and kid out and gives them a cure to take to the colony. And he grenades them all in that room to take them out. Saves the world and gets revenge for Doggo

[@ashleyf423]

I prefer that ending too.

[@John_McDonnell_76]

That’s the original ending. This one, that they watched is the alternate ending

[@fireidar]

To see the 'original' movie based off the same book, look for 'The Omega Man' with Charlton Heston.

[@angelavalentino5146]

This alternate ending is way better than the actual ending.

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite Will Smith movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@Iletyoulive]

Will smith is so talented,a Grammy winner,Oscar winner was in one the best tv shows of all time

[@jeto3557]

Lol 😂

[@darrellhenry9152]

Ultimate wife guy.

[@tbrrrdmn]

Usually the original is better than but....a good reference cuz I love Vincent Price.

[@psychokitty71]

The "alternate"/original ending was released because test audiences didn't react well to this ending. However, this ending is the one that matches the ending of the book that the movie is based on. Because of that, the sequel is supposed to pick up after this ending. You asked about a movie with a similar premise. Have you ever seen The Girl with All the Gifts? It's a zombie apocalypse movie with some similar themes to this movie. It's not one that many people have reacted to, so I'd be very curious to see you guys react to it. It's a 2016 British film that received generally favorable reviews.

[@SandraMorris51]

I love this movie- still salty about the doggie! Seriously though-my favorite Will Smith movie.

[@i_think_i_am_lost]

I prefer the other ending I feel like this one is a bit too fantastical, with the whole "true love" saves the day angle. And it just comes out of nowhere. Where were these creature's complex emotions, thoughts, and actions the past years? Pour one out for the goodest dog. ❤

[@WillyanWagner]

The original ending is better

[@angelavalentino5146]

Maybe Blake should see a urologist.

[@philipgreen8227]

Would have loved to have seen the Ridley Scott and Arnold Schwarzenegger version that we nearly got

[@TheBambinoitaliano]

I'm more entertain by Igli telling us about Blake's piss story. 🤣🤣🤣

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

So you're not taken out of movies when people die but when the dog dies...? 😂😂

[@AGreeneMiracle]

Yeah people be desensitized to human death. It's everywhere all the time. But our companions... our personal friends that depend on us and we depend on them when the human race is failing... nah. That just hits harder no matter what.

[@blinkachu5275]

I don’t get it either. I love my cat but I can still watch a movie with a pet dying or getting hurt. I know it’s not real.

[@rhomugamma]

Seriously…

Richard matheson. Great writer. Not known enough. 😶😶😶😶

It's a silly thing to get stuck on the dog dying. Characters die in movies. Sam was a main character. The man's entire family died and he was left alone in the world when his only friend left was killed.

[@RaggedyPack]

Just say you hate dogs next time bro. We get it - Blake

[@boomercoco1]

Thank you out of all these reactions this pissed me off the most for some reason man you're gonna stay focused on the death of a dog and throw away the whole movie I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this

No its not!

[@darrellhenry9152]

Find someone to love you as much as Blake hates the Star Wars sequels. 😂

[@CanadaDan]

This was the original ending, not the theatrical version i think. In this version it left it open for the 2nd part. The other version is how we all wanted, revenge, he died with the dark seekers in the lab

[@Letha-Mae]

Will smith tried to buy Abbey the German shepherd he loved her so much

[@SkidmoreTx]

I prefer the original ending

I always find it interesting when dog deaths are treated with more weight and disgust than human deaths by reactors.

[@RainyDays2790]

sorry back to say if you like stories like this the book warm bodies have zombies like that. they dont go into it nearly as much as in the film but the dark seekers always reminded me of the bonies from the warm bodies books

Will Smith is the legend, i.e., he's the scary monster that the transformed are afraid of. He kidnaps and murders them. He's the villain in their story.
